Sure, but I've seen machine generated markup/documents that make use
of the ANSI_X3.4-1968 name, particularly those coming out of
Government agencies.

If we are going to support the IANA names, then there is no reason not
to support all of them. Picking and choosing those that we think
aren't used is asking for a bug report.

This is a no brainer.
